Didn't know what to expect walking in but loved what I saw. The show was well laid out and the wall text was clear and informative. One thing I liked was the hand-out for visitors in the gallery - instead of writing the name of each piece and its artist on the wall there's just a number which you can then easily find and read more about in the hand-out.

It was pretty crowded late Saturday afternoon but still walked out feeling I'd seen a great show. The time period was neatly outlined as you walk in so right there you have context for everything that follows. If in Paris this one's a good one!

I walked into this show not knowing Carl Andre the sculpture. I didn't necessarily get all of his work but there were certain parts of the show I really enjoyed - watching visitors walk on some of his works with a sheepish look on their face and a powerful cement installation that made me think of a cemetery or soldiers in formation. It's a good show to visit with friends.

Perhaps this show is meant for a niche audience as I had trouble understanding why the Louvre's visitors would find it important to know about this Swede's collection - which by the way is beautiful just not my taste. The text panels (in English at least) are small and dense which is always tough, one gallery has a kind of mural at the end with no description that doesn't seem to belong and the exhibition is split between two unconnected galleries.

Here's the evolution of the exhibit in a nutshell: "Arms have been raised, mouths have exclaimed. Now, what are needed are words...". This show does a great job capturing the arms raised, the mouths opened and the words used in uprisings. It feels relevant to what's happening around the world today. And one thing I loved was a video by Tsubasa Kato - 'Break it Before it's Broken, 2015'

How do Monet, Holder and Munch approach snow, sun, night, water in their paintings? Parallels, comparisons, echoes are shown through a superb selection of paintings. Texts and panels are straight to the point and easy to understand. A very nice visit and not too long - for those who don’t want to spend hours in a museum. Congrats for this exhibit!
Some cons: a bit packed (notably with the guided groups), and an effort must be done to attract younger audiences!
One pro: a great shop with many items related to the exhibits or impressionism; and also a section exclusively for kids!

I didn't realize until now the influence one artist had on the other - they must have had fun watching each other. The exhibit takes from the best works of each artist, the text on the wall is easy to read and the coffee I grabbed on the terrace after the show was delicious. Thumbs up!

Needless to say there are beautiful works in the show; I mostly enjoyed seeing the famous personalities of the day grouped together in his largest paintings. Otherwise it's a pretty quiet show for those who take their art appreciation super seriously.

It was two firsts for me: my first time at the Fondation Clément and first time seeing Henri Guédon. The museum and the exhibit goes to show the potential the Fondation Clément has to be a world-class exhibition space.

It was a busy show for a Sunday afternoon so moving around was a bit difficult. But the content gave great context and background on the creator of Tintin - everyone who buried their young noses in these comic books it's worth the visit.
